Abstract
In this paper, we propose a hybrid metric Palatini approach in which the Palatini scalar curvature is non minimally coupled to the scalar field. We derive Einstein's field equations, i.e., the equations of motion of the scalar field. Furthermore, the background and perturbative parameters are obtained by means of Friedmann equations in the slow roll regime. The analysis of cosmological perturbations allowed us to obtain the main inflationary parameters, e.g., the scalar spectral index and tensor to scalar ratio r. From this perspective, as an application of our analysis, we consider the Higgs field with quartic potential, which plays the inflaton role, and show that predictions of Higgs hybrid inflation are in good agreement with recent observational data [Astron. Astrophys. 641, 61 (2020)].
